<div> <font size="3">Are you saying the engine runs fine but it won't move because the brakes are holding it back? What model car is it?</font></div>

<div><font size="3">If it is a TR4 or some other model with a single circuit braking system and all the brakes are locked up try cracking open a bleeder and see if that relieves the pressure and frees up the brakes. If so the master cylinder is likely the problem. </font><br>

<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;">Hi Folks,</span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;">Well, I took everyone’s
good advice and it started up, no problem.</span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;">So naturally I decided to go
for a test drive – the tow truck has just dropped the car off.</span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;">After about a mile of
driving, it felt a bit sluggish so I pulled into a Garden Center and tried to
turn around. It stalled and it decided it didn’t want to go any
further. That’s when I called Hagerty for the tow truck.</span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;">I have a feeling the brakes
have rusted up and seized. I have to jack up the car and see which ones –
front or back. Which are more likely to seize? Probably the back
drums, right? Funny thing though – before I started walking back home, I
felt each wheel for heat – nothing.</span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;">Cheers</span></div>
<div class="yiv3548514913MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;"> </span></div>
